I don't see it as us not wanting to accept ourselves. I do accept that I am deaf and I do live a quite happy normal life. However, the question was that if there was cure, would we take it. I do not see answering honestly as not accepting who we are. That would be like saying that a blind person...

I am currently on Advair 500/50, Ventolin for a rescue inhaler, and a nebulizer if nothing else works. COPD becomes a daily part of your life in just trying to breathe. I've had friends die of this disease. I was on Dulera for it at one point. What meds do you take for the management of symptoms.

Im around. I just dont post on here much at all. Usually, I am busy with my grand daughter or just life in general. Good to see ya still here Cappy and Reba and others that I know.

I usually get "how do you drive?" The worst was when my grand daughter was born and her mom totally thought because I was deaf that I wouldnt be able to be alone with my grand daugther.

I dont know if she was a member here or not but TBL has since passed on. I know DragonLady was a member here at one time and she passed on. Also Richard Roehm was a member here and passed on some time ago.

I have been diagnosed with COPD. COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is a lung disease that is either from Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema, or Asthma. My underlying diagnosis was Asthma. I have moderate COPD which would probably put me in Stage 2 or 3. There are 4 stages...

Yes, I would. I was born hearing and did not lose my hearing till I was 14 years old. I would love to be able to hear naturally again and not have to struggle at all.

I was a cashier for many years and I am deaf. I used to wear a hearing aid and that worked well for me for a long time, then I had to get a cochlear implant. I worked as a cashier at many places and most recently for Lowes.

I actually came out in my 30's. It took me a while to realize that I was in love with my best friend. I do remember kissing a girl when I was about 10-12 and I remember I did like it. Now that I know that I am bisexual, I catch myself looking at girls and thinking things like "she has a nice...

I think you are worrying too much about what they will think. You are who you are and your sexuality should not change that. The only thing you might get is what I've always gotten. "Oh, your bi? That just means you are curious or undecided about what you are." The best thing you can do, is just...

This is to the last poster. Do not forget though that not all disabilities are able to be seen. Just because a person is deaf, does not mean that that is their only disability. There may be other reasons why they cannot work on top of being deaf. Before you flame me, I do not collect SSI, I...

Lucia, The problem is you are looking at this from your own perspective. What the poster above meant was NOT to say that YOU weren't abused, but there are some that ARENT abusing kids that are on these registeries. I don't think the registeries do anybody any good. IF they did abuse their...

I agree with Jillio on this issue the only time the death penalty should be used is when there is absolutely NO DOUBT at all that the person did the crime. The only way to have absolutely NO DOUBT at all is through DNA. If there is no DNA evidence then lock them up and throw away the key, simple...

Great Answer!!!!!!

Thank you! 20+ years off and on together and still counting!

I would rather find 10 million cause I already have the true love with my hubby.

Glad to hear it Cheri!! Thanks for updating. I still keep your dad in my prayers.

well the way I see this debate is that a term acceptable for all should be agreed upon. African-Americans does not fit all black people. There are black Jamaicans, there are black NZ's *forget the term they have over there* there are black aussie's and the list goes on and on and on. I can't...

I think we have lost way too many freedoms and basic rights. And we are going to lose more unless the citizens of this great country starts standing up and saying hell no, we are taking back what is our rights. Many people are complaining currently about having Christ in Christmas * dumb I know*...
